Can this unit be used outdoors with batteries? If not can you reccomend one that does?

I think so. It has a very bright display so there should be no problem. I wouldn't expose it to rain though.

This unit doesn't accept batteries. It is fairly large and may not be comfortable in the hand. I have mine permanently mounted and am extremely happy with it.

No, I wouldn't use this outdoors. I would buy a grounded timer specifically rated for outdoor use.

No use using it at all once it quits reading accurately. Mine quit working after a few months. If it works at all, it can be used outside as well as inside. It uses batteries.

No. Only via the AC wall adapter. Perhaps you could find a compatible car adapter, but it does not have batteries.

It is not a portable unit and does not use batteries. It must use the power chord to operate.

I believe so. The directions say they can even be used outside if protected from the weather. These units are both a charger and a charge maintainer for both 6 & 12 volt batteries.

No, but you may be able to bury the unit if its kept in waterproof housing. Check out a boat battery protector

It definitely works outside. I used it at a BBQ on a park and it worked great. Only thing I don't like is that I can't tell when the battery lis dying or low, therefore, can't plan accordingly

I definitely wouldn't consider using this outside because it's not sealed against water damage, and in high temperature could cause the batteries inside to explode.

No, I bought 2 units one put in the front yard and one in the back yard. I changed batteries still not working, it was just waste of money for me.

Yes, I used them outside but they didn't last long. The timers don't work indoors or outdoors and the batteries did not last either. Sorry I ordered them, I was surprised because the reviews were good. Hope you have better luck.

It is not a stand alone unit. It has no battery. It must always stay plugged into an outlet

No cannot be run on batteries. Yes, small enough I consider a good portable.

Hi, my unit came with a cord that was about 24" long. As far as keeping it outside, I would say that if it is under a covered area and not getting wet from the elements it would be okay because it is electrical. I know someone who had the battery type and it was a waste of time and money. Maybe she got a bad one but I am quite happy with this unit. Hope this helps.

Yes it can. It comes with an AC Adapter. I usually keep mine plugged in. There are no batteries.

No it does not use batteries. The power cord comes out in the back of the unit.
